Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008 Woody Allen & scr)

Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz (AA), Patricia Clarkson (all absolutely great).

Ph. Javier Aguirresarobe.

And on 24 January, 2009.

I'm not sure I'd describe this as 'very funny'. It's more of a relationship drama, really, with wonderful irony. Another great success from a masterful writer-director; as usual his casting and music choices (e.g. unshakeable main theme 'Barcelona' by Giulia y los Tellarini) are inspired.

Watch out for interesting dissolves in mid scene between Bardem and Hall.



Woody admits that in Bardem and Cruz's argument in Spanish on the streets of Barcelona he had no idea what they were saying to each other!
